        In depth

        Verdict

        Jackie Kiely gets the confident vote here with Tharua and Make My Hay rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Tharua and although he is worse off at the weights with that rival here he won with a shade in hand and he is taken to defy the handicapper from a good draw. Tharua rates the main danger as she is well weighted but she is hard to win with and at likely odds she looks worth opposing. Make My Hay won well last time out but he may just need the run after a 226 day absence. Bill Bennett is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the remainder Regal Fantasy is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Jackie Kiely.
